“The outdoors offers limitless potential to young children. It becomes a place where they can go to relax their mind, to be inspired and to deep dive into the world of imagination. ”
Fall Programs:
Our Chickadees Program is designed for our youngest children, ages 0 to 18 months, and their caregivers. This class offers a gentle introduction to rhythm, exploration of the natural world, and heartfelt community. Here we create a soft and supportive space for our babies and for the adults who care for them.
Our Fall 2026 Chickadee’s Program will run for twelve consecutive weeks meet on Tuesdays from 11am–12pm starting September 1st and closing on November 17th. If there is strong interest from families, we would love to expand with an additional day and time for our youngest Wildhood participants. Please feel free to reach out with preferences on timing.
In this early season of life, so much is unfolding beneath the surface. Our Chickadees class honors the pace of infancy and early toddlerhood, offering a calm and nurturing environment where babies can observe, explore, and begin to experience the world alongside their caregivers.
Each session is intentionally capped at 16 children maximum to preserve a sense of intimacy, ease, and connection among families.
Welcoming families from across the Boulder Valley, the Chickadees Program is guided by Wildhood’s founder and lead teacher, Kayla Hash. With a warm and attentive presence, she creates an environment where both babies and caregivers feel supported, connected, and at ease.
Our time together follows a simple and consistent flow, rooted in seasonal rhythms and gentle sensory experiences. Gatherings typically include:
– Circle time with simple songs, fingerplays, and movement
– Rhymes and connection games between caregiver and child
– Sensory-rich, open-ended exploration of our natural surroundings
– Time outdoors as weather allows
– Spacious time for connection and play
At this stage, babies are developing a sense of safety, trust, and belonging. The Chickadees class centers the caregiver-child bond, offering opportunities for closeness, attunement, and shared experience in a peaceful and welcoming environment.
Caregivers remain an active and essential part of the experience throughout. In the spirit of our family-first approach, siblings are always welcome. We believe in supporting families being together and embracing the presence of each child.
We welcome our families in the Chickadees Program into the broader Wildhood School community, gathering throughout the year for seasonal celebrations and shared outings.
Our Sparrows Program is designed for children ages 18 months to 3 years and their caregivers. This class builds upon the foundation of our Chickadees program, offering a rhythm that supports both growing autonomy and continued connection for young children stepping into early independence. For those beginning to reach, explore, and engage more fully with the world around them.
Our Fall 2026 Sparrow’s Program will meet on Wednesdays for 12 consecutive weeks starting September 2nd and closing on November 18th. Our classes will run from 9:30am-11:00am. If there is strong interest from families, we would love to expand with an additional day and time for our Sparrows. Please feel free to reach out with preferences on timing.
Space is limited to keep an intimate container with a maximum of 16 students.

Our Magpies program is Wildhood’s offering for our eldest children. Designed for children ages 3 to 5, this class builds upon the foundation of earlier programs, offering a more independent experience while still held within a warm, relational environment. At this age, our children feel more confident in moving their bodies, rich in imagination, and ready to explore the world with growing enthusiasm and curiosity. Here we give them an expansive environment and inspiring structure to engage in.
Our Fall 2026 Magpie’s Program will meet on Thursdays for 12 consecutive weeks starting September 3rd and closing on November 19th. Our classes will run from 9:30am-11:30am.

Our days follow a gentle, predictable flow, rooted in seasonal rhythms and the natural world.
Gatherings may include:
– Song and movement in circle
– Storytelling inspired by the seasons, imagination, core values and the natural world
– Open-ended art and creative expression
– Nature exploration and longer outdoor free play
– Cooperative games and imaginative play
– Opportunities for practical, hands-on activities
– Spacious time for social connection
At this stage, children are expanding into imaginative worlds, forming deeper friendships, and beginning to navigate group dynamics. The Magpies Program offers space for this unfolding, where children can take initiative, express themselves freely, and build confidence within a consistent and nurturing rhythm. While this program is designed for greater independence, connection remains at the heart of the experience. Children are supported in developing a sense of belonging—to the group, to the land, and to themselves.
Caregivers remain an active and essential part of their child’s experience, while also being supported in creating a wide breadth for independence within a safe and nurturing environment. In the spirit of our family-first approach, younger siblings are always welcome to attend with caregivers. We honor the natural rhythm of family life and hold space for the children within it.
Families in our Magpies session are welcomed into the wider Wildhood community, with invitations to seasonal celebrations and shared gatherings throughout the year.
